When the Patriots run: Edge Patriots

Fumble-prone Stevan Ridley (611 yards, 4.3 yards per carry, 7 TDs) and LeGarrette Blount (460 yards, 4.5 yards per carry, 3 TDs) form a two-headed rushing monster. The Patriots are 12th in rushing yards per game at 120.0; the Dolphins are 23rd in rush defense (118.8 yards per game). LBs Dannell Ellerbe, Philip Wheeler and Koa Misi have to be sure tacklers, and the front four need to create havoc. That's been a challenge in recent weeks.
